What will your crown in heaven look like?
Silver? Gold? Platinum?
Maybe you'll get a diamond on your crown for every soul you've won for Christ. Maybe you'll get a ruby for every time you pray for others. Maybe a sapphire for every time you edify the body of Christ. Maybe another gem for every random act of kindness. Maybe another jewel for every time you witness to an atheist, agnostic or a member of another religion.

Want a more beautiful, glorious crown??
Get off your behind and do something about it! Don't only settle for your salvation and nothing else. Get out of your comfort zone and do something brothers and sisters. Faith without works is dead.

Nope.

I believe we're here to take care of each other. (Feed the hungry. Heal the sick. Stop the killing of innocents in war. You know. The HARD stuff.) I don't believe we're here to build up treasures in Heaven. Gold crowns? God is passing out gold crowns when there are people starving to death on this earth? OK that's one disturbing idea.

Not a bad thought, but the premise is weak. "Salvation" isn't about "pie in the sky," it's about being saved from a life of selfish vanity and having a valuable purpose as a reward now.

Actually the reward of the crown in Heaven will only be rewarded to the works which Lord Jesus did through His children , and not works people did for Jesus , so people need a lead in the Spirit for the calling which Jesus does through His Children , as this crown which Jesus reward people are reported to be thrown to the feet of Jesus .... The key here is unity with God .....

Mine will probably have lots of pearls. It's the only gem from a living organism that forms by irritation over time.

Porcelain, resembling that of glass; clear and transparent.
